Programme
In addition to a general section covering urbanisation in Italy during the Roman period and the analysis of case studies, the course aims to examine the evolution and spread of Roman theatre in Italy. The course will explore the transformation from Greek theatre to that of the Imperial period, focusing on performances, architecture and the theatre’s role within the urban landscape. Particular attention will be given to specific case studies, for which issues of conservation, restoration and public access will be discussed.Core Documentation
